# Tradefolio vs Options Alerter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tradefolio at 50% against Options Alerter's 3%. Tradefolio also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Options Alerter's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (331 vs 38). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tradefolio sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $79.99 per month and Options Alerter sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Options Alerter holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Options Alerter has 331 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Tradefolio's written reviews are positive against 3% of Options Alerter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tradefolio ships an update monthly, Options Alerter every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
